Laros slips. If I could choose just one...

Good morning all!  Here's my Friday slip indulgence - Laros slip ads. If I had to choose just one series of slip ads that stood out as exceptional it would be Laros, the work of the renowned advertising illustrator John La Gatta (1894-1977).  La Gatta fascinates me in that he had obviously studied and understood women and had the nearly unique ability to capture female serenity in his work.  I wouldn't have hesitated to say "yes!" if he'd asked me out for dinner, but he inconveniently died a year before I was born.  C'est la vie.  Anyhow, here is some of La Gatta's work for Laros:

PS - I do have other undie illustrators that I admire a bit less than John La Gatta, but they're still fab.  Here are 6 of my favourites: https://nylonnostalgia.com/f/5-of-my-favourite-cover-art-vintage-lingerie-illustrators

These are wonderful images. The essence of femininity, elegance and class.
